giveaway #1

For giveaway #1 I have two issues of Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion Magazine. If you don't get this magazine you should!! It is chock full of great ideas for decorating and crafting. I use it as my "some day" magazine. Some day I will have a house or an artist's studio as amazing as the ones featured in here!

Just post below if you would like to be entered to win! I'll draw a winner at random at 9pm EST tonight!

EDITED: We have a Winner! Sandi Keene!!! Please email me your address and I will send you your prize! Thanks everyone for playing. Sorry I couldn't post the winner until this morning our internet in our building was out!

Labels: contest, free goodies

COMMENTS:

Am I seriously the first person to comment? Haha, that's never happened before! Anyway, I am ALWAYS looking for new magazines... there is just something about getting a new mag in the mail that makes me giddy. Also, being in a one bedroom apartment outside of Boston makes most of these "home" decorating magazines a "some day" thing for me. It's nice to dream though. Thanks for the opportunity!

I love Mary Engelbreit! She has fascinating things. I have seen the magazine once at my aunts and loved it. I get so many magazines so this would be fun to have.
:)
Love where you live, I was born in DC, we were there 2 years ago for my dad's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery and it'd been 20 years since I had been there. Love DC.

What a great giveaway! I think my favorite card of all time is Mary's design of the child holding a lantern on his way to a barn with a special star in the sky - so poignant and sweet!

I love your blog and would love to get a magazine. Also, I told my daughter who goes to the University of Maryland at College Park about your post about Hello Cupcake and you have made her year. She's just a hop, skip and a metro ride away from it!

Your blog is on my bookmark and I catch up every morning over here in New Zealand! We have just built a house and probably could have had another room added with the amount of $$ spent on magazines. I have never heard of "Home Companion" but would really love to add them to my collection! Thankyou!

I used to get this magazine and loved it. I agree with your "someday" approach to a life like that. That's my hope too! :)

Hmmm, so much to say. I've had to push all my artistic urges to a far corner for over 2 years. I'm in need of creative therapy but have been knitting socks - want to be designing and sewing but it's not as portable as socks.

I've only purchased one or two editions of this magazine, but I LOVE it! Mary's original artwork is worth the cost of the magazine by itself!

Thanks for this fun giveaway!
